Tales from today's commute....

Some lovely rides this week. Yesterday afternoon much warmer, but traffic absolutely bonkers. No idea what screwed things up but a normally congested route was even worse*. Plenty of filtering to be done as I nipped past them all but still slowed me down. Made up for it by drafting a bus on the return and flew along.

I only pop onto the A6 towards Stockport near McVities, and it's lovely and wide with the bus lane and occasional bike lane that the busses 'sneak' down Still hobbling from bed to dining table.

Crikey. They were all out this morning. Mudguard-less road bikes, MTBs with saddle too low, Leccie bikes. T-shirts and football shorts. Abomination.

I want January back. Already tired of sharing the bike and bus lanes. 😁

Which of those are the abomination?

Which of those are the abomination?

Leccies going uphill at speed obviously not pedaling.

All of them, but a road bike with no mudguards excels in the abomination chart. I mean, the guy might as well have been riding naked.
